Dancing Shoes

     I found these shoes at DSW the other day and I'm absolutely crazy about them. I love that they lace up, have eyelets and a peep toed front. They pare great with a swingy skirt of black jeans and a tank. They are the promise of warmer weather to come.

    You can wear them to the grocery store or to a spring/summer wedding. They are a great ways to add a little style to everyday life

You can buy them at DSW online store for $49.95. I am normally wear size 9 shoes but I found their size 8 to be the best fit for me.

   

  They have a nice 3/4" heel witch is great for tall gals, like me. They add a nice girly touch to every outfit.

                               

A Relaxing Bath

 While browsing Pinterest I found this recipe for a relaxing bath. You add a hand full of epsom salt, 10 drops of lavender essential oils, and 1/2 a cup of baking soda.  It is supposed to "draw out toxins, lower stress related hormones, and balance your pH level". Also it smells fantastic. Bath's are a great chance to unwind if you are really stressed out. Separate yourself from distracting things like your phone and just take some uninterrupted time to think.

A Laugh for your Monday

 Here is one of my new favorite videos. It is of a hamster eating a tiny burrito. Even the part where they're making the mini burrito is hilarious. I've probably watched it at least 100 times in the past few days. Hope you have a good week.

Happy Mother's Day!

  Our moms have done so much for us. For starters they carried us for nine months (I don't understand why anyone has kids). After we were born they cleaned our dirty diapers and taught us to speak. They made sure that we had morals and were responsible for our actions. They were a shoulder to cry on when we scraped our knee or the boy we liked asked another girl to homecoming. They were always there for us, through thick and thin. They still loved us when we screamed "I hate you" and slammed the door in their face. They worked non stop trying to balance their jobs, cooking, cleaning and us. Some of them might have had to give up their dreams for us. And sometimes we take all they do for granted. This is all we have known them to do, and all we assume them to do. So take some time today to tell your mother how much you love and appreciate her.

Cute Ecard

I found this ecard while browsing Pinterest and I think it perfectly defines my relationship with some of my friends. It is a great way to say "hey,were both crazy and that's what makes us special".

Storium

 Storium is a new creative way to look at storytelling. It uses a format similar to a video game to create a multiplayer story. I have been using their beta site and absolutely love it. The final version will be coming out in the fall and there is only a limited time to sign up for the beta version.

You can create a new world or customize a pre existing one. Right now working on a occult pulp horror but there are other genres such as fantasy or steam punk. Here is a link to their kick starter page (which is the only way you can get the beta version).

Untranslatable Words

  Does the english language ever feel lacking for you? What word can you use to describe that feeling of being alone in the woods, or the after dinner chatter. I love this post on man.com about untranslatable words. I think I'm going to start using some of them in my everyday life. On of my favorite is Goya (urdu) or "the transporting suspension of disbelief that can occur i.e in good storytelling".
